lyrics

it wasn't supposed to be this hard
can't let down my guard
as I stumble through the dark

and everyone seems to have the upper hand
gotta find a storm to stand in the middle of

I know I can't let it drag me down
leave my thoughts unwound
'cause I might not bounce back up

and you don't even want to understand
or pretend to give a damn like the rest of us

and I know: it's hard to try
again sometimes, but you've already given up

I'm not so sure this is who you are
but you've come too far
to admit you're something else

I guess this is a good enough goodbye
so determined to keep lying to yourself

and I know: it's hard to try
again sometimes, but you've already given up
yeah I know: it's hard to try
again sometimes, but you've already given up

yeah I know: it's hard to try
again sometimes, but you've already given up
